Final answer:
To find the total volume of the cough syrup mixture, convert all components into the same unit (liters) and sum them. The pharmacist would mix 1.55 liters of syrup, 0.725 liters of cherry flavor, and 1.25 liters of water to get a total volume of 3.525 liters.
Step-by-step explanation:
The original question seems to be mistakenly asking about a coffee drink, however, it seems the intent is to understand how to combine various volumes in order to reach a total volume, as exemplified by a pharmacist mixing different components to create cough syrup. In the given example, a pharmacist is mixing 1,550 milliliters of syrup, 725 milliliters of cherry flavor, and 1.25 liters of water. To find the total volume, each component's volume must be converted into the same unit and then summed. Since there are 1,000 milliliters in one liter, the volume of the syrup would be 1.55 liters (1,550 milliliters) and the volume of the cherry flavor would be 0.725 liters (725 milliliters). Adding these to the 1.25 liters of water gives:
1.55 liters + 0.725 liters + 1.25 liters = 3.525 liters
This is the total volume of the cough syrup once all ingredients are mixed together. This task involves basic unit conversion and addition, which is a fundamental aspect of mathematics, and can be applied in fields such as chemistry and pharmacology.
